摘要

据报道，非洲，特别是尼日利亚，在其不断增长的老年人比例中具有很高的宗教参与度，但在文献中很少发现关于宗教信仰或灵性对非洲老年人健康影响的作品。因此，本研究探讨了宗教参与和灵性对尼日利亚老年基督徒健康或福祉的影响。共有103名65岁及以上的尼日利亚老年人参加了这项横断面调查，他们回答了一份由研究人员管理的关于宗教信仰、精神和健康状况的问卷。这项研究的结果表明，宗教参与程度、精神和心理健康水平与老年人(尤其是60-70岁的老年人)的总体幸福感之间存在显著的相关性。我们得出结论，老年人的宗教参与和灵性水平对他们的心理健康领域有影响。

Impact of Religious Participation and Spirituality on the Health of Nigerian Older People: an online survey

ABSTRACT Africa, especially Nigeria, is reported to have high religious participation among her growing proportion of older people, yet few works are found in the literature on the impact of religiosity, or spirituality, on the health of the older people in Africa. Thus, this study explored the impact of religious participation and spirituality on the health or well-being of older Christians in Nigerian. A total of 103 Nigerian older people aged 65 years and above participated in this cross-sectional survey by responding to a researcher-administered questionnaire on the topics of religiosity, spirituality, and health status. The findings of this study demonstrated a significant correlation between the level of religious participation, the level of spirituality and psychological health, and the general well-being of older people, especially those aged 60–70 years. We conclude that religious participation and the level of spirituality of older people have an impact on their psychological health domain.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
